Oil Extraction

Oil extraction is one of the most critical processes in the energy sector, playing a fundamental role in the global supply of energy, raw materials, and petrochemical products. As the demand for energy resources continues to rise worldwide, the need for efficient, sustainable, and advanced oil extraction technologies has never been greater. At Mehar Engineering, we are proud to be at the forefront of offering state-of-the-art solutions for oil extraction, contributing to the global energy infrastructure while maintaining a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Who We Are: Mehar Engineering

Mehar Engineering is a dynamic company that combines innovation, expertise, and a commitment to excellence in engineering services. Specializing in oil extraction technologies, our mission is to provide industries with cutting-edge equipment and processes that enable efficient extraction of oil while reducing environmental impacts. As part of our core offerings, we provide customized engineering solutions, end-to-end services, and ongoing support to help companies achieve their operational goals in the oil sector.

The process of oil extraction is complex and involves several stages, from locating oil reserves to extracting crude oil from the earth and preparing it for refining. Efficient extraction methods are critical to maximizing the yield from oil reserves and ensuring that the extraction process is both economically viable and environmentally responsible. Inefficient oil extraction techniques can lead to wasted resources, environmental degradation, and higher operational costs.

Mehar Engineering understands these challenges and has developed a range of products and services aimed at optimizing the oil extraction process. Our engineering expertise ensures that our clients benefit from high levels of precision, advanced technologies, and tailored solutions designed to meet the unique needs of each project.

The Oil Extraction Process

Oil extraction can be broadly categorized into three main phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary extraction.

1. Primary Extraction

   The first phase of oil extraction involves the natural pressure of the underground reservoir being used to force oil to the surface. In this stage, oil flows naturally without the need for complex machinery. However, as the reservoir pressure decreases, more advanced methods are required to continue extracting oil. Primary recovery can only extract a limited portion of the available oil, often between 5% to 15% of the total reserves.

2. Secondary Extraction

   When the natural pressure from the reservoir is no longer sufficient, secondary extraction methods are employed. Water flooding is one common secondary extraction method, where water is injected into the reservoir to push oil toward the production wells. This method can increase the overall recovery of oil, extracting between 30% to 50% of the reservoir’s total oil. Mehar Engineering provides advanced water flooding systems designed to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and maximize recovery rates.

3. Tertiary Extraction (Enhanced Oil Recovery – EOR)

   After primary and secondary methods, significant quantities of oil still remain in the reservoir. Tertiary extraction, also known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), utilizes more sophisticated methods to extract this remaining oil. Some common techniques include injecting gas, chemicals, or heat into the reservoir to reduce the oil’s viscosity and make it easier to extract. At Mehar Engineering, we specialize in designing customized EOR systems, utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as gas injection, thermal recovery, and chemical flooding to optimize oil extraction and extend the lifespan of oil fields.

Advanced Technologies in Oil Extraction

Technological advancements have revolutionized the oil extraction process, allowing companies to extract oil from previously unreachable depths, unconventional sources, and challenging environments. Mehar Engineering is at the forefront of these innovations, providing our clients with access to a wide range of cutting-edge technologies.

1. Hydraulic Fracturing

   Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique that involves injecting high-pressure fluid into the reservoir to create fractures in the rock, allowing oil and gas to flow more freely. Mehar Engineering designs and implements hydraulic fracturing solutions that are both efficient and environmentally responsible. Our systems are engineered to minimize water usage, reduce the risk of contamination, and maximize recovery rates in unconventional oil reserves.

2. Directional Drilling

   Traditional vertical drilling is no longer sufficient for accessing many oil reserves. Directional drilling allows wells to be drilled at various angles, enabling access to oil deposits that would be otherwise unreachable. Mehar Engineering provides advanced directional drilling equipment and expertise to help companies access deeper, more complex oil reservoirs while minimizing surface disruption.

3. Automation and Digitalization

   Automation is transforming the oil extraction industry by enhancing precision, safety, and efficiency. Mehar Engineering offers a range of automated solutions, including real-time monitoring systems, automated drilling rigs, and data analytics platforms that optimize decision-making throughout the extraction process. By incorporating digital technologies into oil extraction, we help our clients reduce operational risks, lower costs, and improve overall efficiency.

Environmental Considerations


While oil extraction remains an essential component of global energy production, it is also one of the most scrutinized processes due to its environmental impact. At Mehar Engineering, we believe that technological advancements and sustainability can go hand in hand. We are committed to providing oil extraction solutions that minimize environmental harm and promote responsible resource management.

1. Reducing Carbon Footprint

   One of the key challenges in the oil industry is reducing carbon emissions. Mehar Engineering integrates carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies into oil extraction processes to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations. By capturing carbon emissions at the source and storing them underground, we help our clients mitigate the environmental impact of their activities.

2. Water Management

   Oil extraction, particularly hydraulic fracturing and water flooding, can require significant amounts of water. Our engineering solutions are designed to optimize water usage and incorporate water recycling technologies. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also helps companies comply with increasingly stringent water regulations.

3. Land Restoration and Waste Management

   After an oil field has been depleted, it is essential to restore the land to its natural state. Mehar Engineering works with clients to develop comprehensive land restoration plans and waste management strategies. This includes the safe disposal of drilling fluids, reinjection of produced water, and reclamation of land to ensure minimal long-term environmental impact.

Customized Solutions for Diverse Environments

No two oil fields are the same, and each presents its own unique set of challenges. Whether operating in offshore environments, arid deserts, or dense forests, oil extraction requires tailored solutions that account for the specific conditions of each project. Mehar Engineering prides itself on providing customized engineering services that cater to the diverse needs of our clients. From project planning and equipment design to on-site implementation and ongoing maintenance, we offer comprehensive support at every stage of the oil extraction process.

Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

At Mehar Engineering, quality and safety are non-negotiable. We adhere to the highest industry standards and employ rigorous quality control measures to ensure the reliability, durability, and performance of our equipment and systems. Safety is also a top priority, and we implement strict safety protocols to protect both workers and the environment.
